The Kohlerr Advantage
DPowerful

Exclusive Powerboostt technology allows the Kohler
17 kW generator to start and run a typical 5 ton
(60,000 BTU) central air conditioner, while still running
other home appliances and electronics *

DCleaner Power for Sensitive Electronics

Protects sophisticated electronics with clean, stable power that exceeds strict utility requirements and IEEE standards for total harmonic distortion (THD)

DFaster Response
Kohlerr generators restore power in as little as 10 seconds
DQuiet
Quiet operation: 68 dB(A) at 7 m (23 ft.) maintains
neighborhood solitude
DPremium Five-Year Limited Warranty
Standard Features

DDC-RET Digital Control
dDesigned for today\u2019s most sophisticated electronics

RATINGS: Standby ratings apply to installations served by a reliable utility source. All single-phase units are rated at 1.0 power factor. The standby rating is applicable to variable loads with an average load factor of 80% for the duration of the power outage. No overload capacity is specified at this rating. Ratings are in accordance with ISO--3046/1, BS5514, AS2789, and DIN 6271. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR DERATING:ALTITUDE: Derate 4% per 305 m (1000 ft.) elevation above 153 m (500 ft.).TEMPERATURE: Derate 1.5% per 5.5_C (10_F) temperature increase above 16_C (60_F). Availability is subject to change without notice. Kohler Co. reserves the right to change the design or specifications without notice and without any obligation or liability whatsoever. Contact your local Kohler Co. generator distributor for availability.

* Due to the cycling operation of many electrical appliances, the generator set may not run all appliances simultaneously. Check the appliance manufacturer\u2019s specifications for actual power
requirements. Consult a Kohlerr Power Systems professional for your exact residential power system requirements.
